"I know, Seel." It was a hard feeling to put into words--wanting to be with him but wanting it to be anywhere but here. Wanting Seel as far away and safe as he could be, but needing to feel the warmth next to him. As much danger as both of them had been in before, this felt...closer. More ominous. Ready at a breath to jump around the corner.

He held out a hand toward Seel, hopefully as a peace offering, but he was already tired. They hadn't even yelled and he was exhausted, ready to be done with everything. Maybe some of that was just because of finding himself in a strange place, but it still counted. He was done.

"I'm sorry I can't make anything better. Just...please don't make this any harder than it has to be."
